Proof that Batman is Real

So it seems Batman is real! My students could have told you that ages ago:

A man dressed as Batman walked into a police station in Bradford holding a wanted suspect by the scruff of the neck and telling officers ‘I’ve caught this one for you’ before vanishing into the night.

The caped crusader swooped into Trafalgar House police station in the West Yorkshire city with the tracksuit-wearing man last Monday and handed him over before doing a disappearing act in true Batman style.

The entire incident was caught on CCTV, with Batman – wearing full costume including mask and cape – shown waiting at the front counter with the suspect, who was wanted for handling stolen goods and fraud, before officers arrested him.

A 27-year-old man is now due at Bradford Magistrates’ court on March 8 charged with handling stolen goods.

A spokesman for West Yorskshire Police said today: ‘Last week we had a very strange occurrence at the police station when a male wanted for an offence in our area was ‘escorted’ up to our help desk at Trafalgar House by Batman.

‘Batman came up to the help desk, stated to the staff “I’ve caught this one for you” and then promptly vanished into the night.
